Glenn High School has been recognized by the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA) and Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) with a Star of Distinction in the 2017-18 Exhibit of School Architecture competition, which annually showcases new and renovated Texas schools and celebrates excellence in planning and design of the learning environment.

The Exhibit of School Architecture awards are given at the discretion of a 12-member jury, which includes: four school board members, four administrators, two representatives from the Texas Society of Architects and two representatives from the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE). To be eligible for consideration for the 2017 Exhibit of School Architecture, projects had to be newly constructed or renovated public education facilities completed in the past five years.
